What do you want for call sign if you were a fighter jock, for those who aren't one already?
I can't come up with one for myself...

I can only speak for the British side. The identity in the AAC is usually given by 2 figures and a suffix, prefixed by 'Alpha' when working with other units. The RAF callsigns are assigned to the aircraft, and often consists of one word and usually 2 figures. The Royal Navy are a complete mystery to me  and although I have worked with them in the past I can't remember their call sign system!
Sadly, pilots are NOT permitted to choose their own
